---- The woods were quiet as birds chirped and the wind blew. Everything was at peace “Jazz don’t worry no one will see you promise!” Ashley spoke, stretching as she faced Jazz “I don’t know, seem dangerous!” Jazz replied with worry spilling from his voice “Swiftgear and I do this all the time and no one has ever caught us!” Ashley told crossing her arms Jazz stayed quiet before he sighed

Jazz transformed stretching himself “Well how do you like it?” Ashley asked giggling, Jazz looked around the woods it was peace he hadn’t seen peace in a long time cause of the war “Jazz?” Ashley shouted, snapping Jazz out of his thoughts “Y-yes..?” Jazz studded out looking down at Ashley the two stayed quiet for a moment before Ashley spoke, “Hey why don’t I show you Earth's beauty?” Ashley asked scratching the back of her head Jazz smiles, lowering his servo down to Ashley “Yes, show me the beauty of the earth!” Jazz said as Ashley stepped onto his servo “Well what would you like to see?” Ashley asked, sitting down in Jazz’s servo “What is water?” Jazz asked, raying his servo to his face “There's a small lake a few miles from here, why don’t we go see it?” Ashley asked smiling, Jaz hummed looking forward, and walked to the lake Ashley spoke of…

---- Ratchet groaned as he laid his helm in his servos “Damn Decepticons and their caulking technology!” Ratchet cursed quietly to himself as his tired optics closed, for the past few days he had stayed up trying to find the warship, but with the company of Ashley he worked even harder to find it “If only Wheel-“ Ratchet spoke before stopping he raised his helm coughed and counties his work The base remained quiet due to Prime resting and Bumblebee and Bulkhead looking for Energon due to how low they were, “Ratchet?” Bulkhead’s voice cut through the coms Ratchet sighed “Yes Bulkhead?” Ratchet questioned rubbing his optics “Me and Bee found small amounts of Energon!” Bulkhead explained Ratchet looked up smiling “G-good I’ll send a ground bridge and you and Bee can transfer it!” Ratchet spoke turning to the ground bridge consoles and typing Bulk and Bee’s position

The ground bridge opened, and it took a moment before Bee came through holding three cubes of Energon “Place them there I’ll handle them later!” Ratchet told, Bulkhead came through a few moments after Bee holding five cubes “How long do you think this will last us Doc?” Bulkhead questioned, Ratched sighed “Maybe a month or so but who knows with-“ “Swiftgear?” Ratchet explained before Bee cut him off “Yes we don’t know what the Decepticons have done to them!” Ratchet said closing the ground bridge

The three stayed quiet, no one wanted to break the silence till Optimus’s voice sounded “Ratchet have Bulkhead and Bumblebee returned?” Optimus questioned stepping into the light “We found Energon but Swiftgear may um..” Bee tried to say but stopped, Optimus sighed, rubbing his optics “You should recharge more Prime!” Ratchet told his tired optics staring into Optimus just as tired optics “I will be fine, has Jazz reported back?” Prime asked rubbing his optics, Bee and Bulkhead left leaving Ratchet to talk with Prime

Ratchet shook his head “No, he hasn’t reported but his position states he’s in the forest near a lake or something!” Ratchet explained Optimus hummed walking up to the computer showing Jazz's position “Have you tires coming, him?” Prime asked staring at the screen “No Bee told me to give him space, he seemed to have something on his mind…” Ratchet explained his restarlueus crossing, the Prime hummed, sighing “When he does com please tell me I’m going for a drive!” Prime told walking away from Ratchet and out of his sight

---- Jazz servo pressed down into the cold water of the lake Ashley smiled next to him, her hand gliding against the water “How do you like it Jazz?” Ashley questioned looking up at him, Jazz smiled, lifting his hand and seeing how the water dripped off his servo “Earth is so beautiful and this is only a small bit of its beauty…” Jazz spoke looking down at Ashley, she smiled wiping her wet hand on her shorts “What else would you like to see?” Ashley questioned cracking her knuckles “Let's stay here for a while I like the sound of the lake…” Jazz said placing his hand back into the water Ashley grinned crossing her legs and looked into the water she could sit here awhile, like Swiftgear she similarly did the same as Jazz when seeing water she giggled thinking about it, seeing Jazz as a toddler of sorts when seeing something new and wanting to play with it more, Jazz look over at Ashley “What you giggling about?” He asked his optics scanning her “Oh it's nothing, promise it just…you remind me of an earth toddler!” Ashley spoke laughing as to explain to Jazz

The Autobot was quiet, his processor thinking “Is a toddler like, a sparkings?” Jazz asked his visor disappearing to show his optics “Y-yeah somewhat…I think?” Ashley explained, confused herself, a laugh exited, Jazz’s intake at Ashley's confused look as she thought “D-don't laugh, it's not funny!” Ashley yelled standing up, Jazz continued to laugh rubbing some fluid away from his eyes “Sorry it's just your confusion, it's funny to me!” Jazz laughed out

Ashley rolled her eyes giggling as Jazz laughed the two sat there awhile laughing at each other “Jazz if you don't mind me asking but what was Cybertron like?” Ashley questioned scratching the back of her head, Jazz sat in silence his visor returned covering his optics “Not now Ashley…” Jazz spoke his voice cold, Ashley sighed “Alright…w-what else would you like to see?” Ashley spoke rubbing the back of her neck, Jazz stood up and walked away “HEY I'm SORRY!” Ashley shouted standing up herself, Jazz sighed turning to look at Ashley “I’m sorry too you only asked..” Jazz told Ashley standing there for a moment “It's alright but if you want to go down the South of the lake be careful!” Ashley clarified, Jazz turned back around “Why should I be careful?” Jazz questioned looking back at Ashley

Ashley walked up to Jazz standing next to his pedes “Swiftgear said there is a Decepticon mine down there but I don't know if it's true!” Ashley explained, Jazz hummed “If there is a mine then m-maybe will find the warship!” Jazz stated looking down at Ashley “And if we find the warship will”

“Find Swiftgear!” They both declared looking at one another “Well let's get going!” Jazz said transforming, opening his side door “Let's get a move on!” Ashley spoke hopping in, Jazz drove off to where Ashley had pointed out…

She was right the mine was covered in con clones “By the all spark you were right!” Jazz spoke as Ashley hopped out of him “Didn’t think much of this but if there are clones where’s the warship?” Ashley questioned looking at Jazz “If I know the cons best the ship is most likely caulked!” Jazz informed rubbing his servos together

The two went quiet looking down upon the clones as they guarded the mines “One, two, three, four…” Ashley mumbled counting clones “What are you doing?” Jazz whispered looking to Ashley “Counting the clones but I lost track!” Ashley laughed scratching the back of her neck Jazz sighed smiling down at Ashley

----

The warship’s medbay hammered with talk by Starscream “And then I ripped his spark out” Starscream told the clearly stasis-locked Swiftgear “You do know she can’t hear you right?” Clawhip spoke her voice filled with annoyance, Starscream sighed looking at Clawhip “Why yes I do!” Scream retorted, crossing his restarlueus “Tch, mind not talking so loudly?” Clawhip asked anger seeping from her voice, Starscream side-eyed Clawhip “Why would I listen to a former landhaver?” Starscream asked, his voice dripping with annoyance, “I may have been a landhaver but I own the sky just like you Scream!” Clawhip stated turning back to the computer

Starscream let out a laugh, Clawhip groaned and rolled her optics listening to Starscream “You think you own the sky?” Starscream questioned through a bitter laugh, Clawhip didn't answer, only the clicks of her digits sounded “Answer me!” Scream yelled annoyed by Clawhip “If I didn't own the sky why can I fly?” Clawhip asked, turning to Scream her red eyes staring into his “You can only fly because of Shockwave!” Starscream retorted annoyance and bitterness sounding from his voice the two were quiet till the medbay doors opened

“Starscream!” Megatron yelled his large figure coming into sight, Clawhip snickered, turning back to her work “Why are you messing with our medical officer?” Megatron yelled looking down at Scream “Um…I was looking over our prisoner!” Starscream said laughing nervously, Megatron hummed “Clawhip is this true?” Megatron asked, Clawhip smirked, turning to the two “He was till, he started talking of my status as a seeker when I was a landhaver!” Clawhip explained smiling at Starscream, his breath hitched “W-well you aren't qualified to be the medical officer either!” Scream retorted laughing nervously as Megatron stared at him “I am well qualified, Nightshade taught me!” Clawhip yelled her voice linking angry “Quiet both of you!” Megatron told, Clawhip turned back to her work typing away Starscream stood up straight bowing his head “Clawhip’s status as a seeker or the medical officer of the Nemesis is not you're concern, Starscream!” Megatron meant leaning over the seeker “Y-yes my lord!” Starscream uttered looking down “But how is the prisoner Clawhip?” Megatron questioned turning his attention to the medic “She is fine, still alive as you told me to!” Clawhip explained turning to her leader with a datapad

Clawhip walked past Megatron and Starscream typing away on the pad, the med bay doors opened again Megatron turned to the door, Soundwave walked into the med bay lights “Soundwave report?” Megatron questioned turning to face him “A-a-pro-ching en-erg-on m-mi-ne…” Soundwave stumbled out his voice cracking as he spoke “Hmm… Thank you Soundwave, come Starscream'' Megatron told, Starscream followed Megatron out of the med bay leaving Soundwave and Clawhip alone

“Soundwave, would you like me to look at you're voice boxes?” Clawhip asked, looking up from her data pad “N-n…no!” Soundwave answered his voice cracking as he answered Clawhip, “Alright I’ll be leaving then check on the prisoner if you’d like!” Clawhip told placing the pad down and leaving the medbay Soundwave stood in the middle of the medbay staring at Swiftgear, his screen face avoid of emotions the medbay went quiet the only sound heard was the monitor of the medical officers

Soundwave left soon after, leaving Swiftgear alone her cold de-shoveled self laid unrestrained, as the warship arrived at the mine lowering its elevator to collect the Energon the miner had collected for months ----

Jazz’s optics widened as the warship de-caulked itself “Oh my Primus!” He spoke, reaching towards his helm “Ratchet!” Jazz shouted through the coms “WHAT?” Ratchet yelled through the coms back at Jazz “I’ve found the warship!” Jazz said calmly, still staring at the warship’s “I’ll com the others stay where you are!” Ratchet said typing being heard from Jazz side “No, I can’t this is are, one chance to save Swiftgear!” Jazz told staring at Ashley’s shocked expression “I’m going in!” Jazz said before turning off his com

“Jazz n-“ Ratchet yelled before being cut off “Stay here!” Jazz ordered transforming “B-but…” Ashley tried to say before Jazz left, Ashley stayed still staring at Jazz form disappearing off to save her friend “Damn-it, Jazz please be careful and may you're god Primus protect you!” Ashley said in a low whisper looking up to the warship

---- Ratchet stared at the screen and groaned “All autobot Jazz has located the warship and he’s left on his own.. Prime Ashley was with him, what should we do?” Ratchet asked, typing Jazz's last location into the ground bridge “Will have to buy him time!” Prime told, stepping behind the medic rubbing his optics “Bubblebee, Bulkhead let’s go!” Prime spoke turning to the two autobots “This will be are first fight with them since Cybertron, be ready for anything!” Ratchet told activating the ground bridge

“Autobot roll out!”

A blaring alarm sounds, and Ashley’s eyes flutter open she groans turning to her nightstand and turning the alarm off she sighs pulling herself out of bed… she shuffles around her room for a moment before opening the door looking into the hallway. She sighs before shutting the door rubbing her eyes from her cry fest the night before “Come on pull yourself together!” Ashley told herself ready to cry again she sighed again and walked out of her room into the bathroom

Ashley turned to the cracked mirror staring at herself before undoing her hair from the low ponytail to the small braid of hair that hung from the right side of her head “Keep it together Ash, Swiftgear wouldn’t want to see you like this!” Ashley told herself taking hold of the brush next to her

After finishing brushing her hair Ashley redid the low ponytail and the braid and walked out of the bathroom quietly to her room shutting the door as Ashley turned into her room Ash scanned her LED-lit room sighing as she finished, Ashley walked over to her dresser taking the outfit on top she smiled at it she was happy that she pick it out before she left with Swiftgear but her smile faded as the memory when through her head “Shit!” She cursed trying to hold her tears back before she could cry another alarm went off Ashley sighed walking over to it the time read “5:55 make breakfast NOW!” Ashley turned the alarm off rubbing her eyes again before setting the outfit in her hand on the bed ----

Jazz waited watching the clock as the street lights went beam as the sun rose slowly he sighed his mirror never leaving the moss-covered house “Be passionate she’ll be out” Jazz told himself worrying for Ashley his attention was caught by a bet up truck looking worse for wear the driver stepped out staring at Jazz “What the hell that kid!” the drive spoke stepping out of the truck his clothes were covered in dirt and grime he closed the door of his truck hard and stomped up to the house unlocking the front door and stepped inside “Scrap Ash!” Jazz yelled worrying for Ashley

----

The sound of the door slamming brought Ashley out of her though “Shit!” she whispered, gripping the wooden spoon in her hand “Ashley!” the man spoke stepping into the kitchen “Y-yes Dad?” Ashley stuttered out turning to face her father the grip on the spoon never ceasing “What with the sports car outside!” He yelled, crossing his arms and glaring at Ashley “It's a friend's Dad!” Ashley exampled smiling

Her father hummed, “ What happened to the bike?” he asked, continuing to glare at Ashley “It’s in the shop it wasn't working well, my friend said I could borrow the car promise!” Ashley examples looking her father in the eyes he hummed turning away and walking upstairs, Ashley sighed her hand laying over her heart “Better finish this up…” Ashley told herself turning back to the stove

Jazz waited as time ticked to 6:50, his worry for Ashley's safety almost got the best of him before he heard the front door close he sighed seeing Ashley step out of the house her steps sounded in Jazz's audio receptors the steps booming as she walked till they stopped “Jazz’s you good?” Ashley questioned knocking on the window Jazz unlocked his door snapping himself out of his daze “Who was that man Ash?” Jazz questioned as Ashley sat down, she was quiet for some time before speaking

“He’s my father…” Ashley spoke, crossing her arms. Jazz was quiet thinking “So like a sire?” Jazz asked “starring” his engine, Ashley giggled hearing Jazz's question “Y-yes like a sire!” Ashley said laughing and rubbed her eyes, Jazz joined in the laughter as he drove onto the road “Oh I forgot to tell you…you’re gonna have to take me to school…sorry” Ashley said looking out the window rubbing the back of her neck

“Hey kiddo it fine you’ll just have to show me where you're school is…” Jazz laughed, Ashley smiled “Well alrighty then!” Ashley spoke smiling as the two continued down the road

Jazz stared as he looked to the school “quite big I must say” Jazz said parking himself far away from everyone “Yeah it is quite big” Ashley said reaching for her bag in the passenger seat “How long will you be gone I must ask!” Jazz questioned, Ashley grabbed her bag turning to the wheel “eight hours I’ll be gone for eight hours…” Ashley told, Jazz stayed quite think “Okay then I’ll go back to base and come get you at like three?” Jazz questioned, Ashley hummed, opening the door and stepping out “Just don’t get caught by anyone!” Ashley laughed shutting the door

Jazz watch as Ashley’s form got further and further away from him when she was full gone he wait for all the other humans to leave so he could go and report back to base, it took some time but soon no one was outside so he left

----

Ratchet’s audio receptors picked up on Jazz’s steps “How was the outside world Jazz?” Ratchet questioned looking at Jazz, “It’s fine but Ashley’s home life doesn’t seem too good I must say..” Jazz told, scratching his helm, “What do you mean by that?” Ratchet questioned turning around Jazz stopped and looked to Ratchet “Her home is…well I don’t know how to explain this the best way is for you to see it yourself but…” Jazz spoke trailing off as Ratchet stared at him

Jazz stop when he felt a servo settle on his shoulder “Jazz we shall talk on this matter later please relax” Optimus spoke his voice filled with exhaust, Jazz took a breath and smile at the Prime “Have you found the warship?” Jazz questioned turning to Ratchet “No the cons caulking shields are far too much to de-code” Ratchet explained looking away from both Prime and Jazz “My old friend please continue to try!” Prime spoke, smiling weakly, Jazz crossed his restarlueus thinking “Jazz?” Prime questioned, Jazz replied with a hum

Jazz slides Prime servo off his shoulder walking away from the two bots “What on his Processor?” Ratchet questioned watching Jazz leave “Must be something to do with Ashley but we will have to see..” Optimus spoke turning away from Ratchet, the med bot sighed turning back to the computer typing away

----

Jazz pulls up to the school and parks in the same spot as that morning he begins to think of what the cons would do to Swiftgear he did promise that he and the other autobots would get them back but Ratchet’s words are making him think that they won’t be able to do that

Jazz continued to think but his thoughts were stopped when hear shouting “Ashley you can’t run forever” a boy shouted he spotted Ashley and three boys running after her “ Ash…?” He questioned, Ashley sprinted to Jazz opening the door and slamming it shut “Ashley are you alright?” Jazz questioned worry forming in his voice, Ashley’s breath staggered and she rested her head against the wheel the three boys stared at Jazz as Ashley caught her breath “No way she could afford that!” one boy said, crossing his arms “Ashley…you forgot something!” The tallest boy said holding up a book of some kind Ashley looked up looking through her bag. She groaned, placing the bag in the passenger seat and stepped out of the car “Give it back Bruce!” Ashley shouted walking up to the boys they snickered as she yelled at them “What.. scared I’ll ruin this already wired book?” Bruce asked, lifting the book above his head, Ashley groaned, reaching for it but failing, the boys laughed as Ashley struggled “What not tall enough?” One boy said snickering Ashley took a breath before backing away from the boys “Giving up already?” Bruce asked, lowering the book to his side “You're such an asshole!” Ashley said crossing her arm and leaned against Jazz, Bruce stared down at Ashley “Well you're the bitch who can’t take a joke!” Bruce spoke his voice low, Ashley stared him down lowering her arms to Jazz hood “Give me my sketchbook back!” Ashley said her nails tapping against Jazz hood Everyone was quiet. Jazz questioned what to do so he couldn’t transformer so he sat there waiting like Ashley and the three boys “Hand it over!” Ashley stated extending her hand to Bruce, he didn’t moved till a voice shout his name “BRUCE YOU'RE LATE!” a women yelled, the two boys sighed as Bruce rolled his eye giving Ashley her sketchbook back when she took it Bruce grabbed her arm “Listen Miles you got lucky this time but next time is a different story!” Bruce whispered shoving Ashley before walking away

“Hey Ashley, what do you usually do after school?” Jazz asked as he pulled out of the school's parking lot “Well me and Swiftgear would usually go up to the forest areas and I’d show them more of earth!” Ashley told her finger tapping against the steering wheel Jazz hummed in reply “Would you like to do the same?” Ashley asked, smiling “Sure it would be a good way to learn more about you're world and I need to clear my head!” Jazz replied ----

“A human?” The Prime questioned lowering his blasters Bulkhead followed, Bee’s voice cutting through the comlink “Something happening over there?” Bee questioned as Prime and Bulkhead stood still for a moment before the human voice cut through “Oh thank the primes you're here!” the human spoke catching her breath

Prime walked over to the human bending down to her “Human I must ask how do you know of use?” Optimus questioned his optics scanning the girl “Um… well that's cause a cybrotroian told me of you…I’m Ashley!” Ashley explained her voice cracking up as she spoke, the prime hummed picking Ashley up “Ratchet a ground please” Prime told his digits curling around Ashley “Op you sure about this?” Bulkhead questioned, following behind the prime “Yes I am sure of this!” Optimus replied waiting for the ground bridge

The bridge opened and the two walked through. Ashley covered her eyes, the bright lights of the ground bridge blinded her. The two stopped as Ratchet, Bee, and Jazz ran up to them “What did you find is an Autobot in danger?” Ratchet questioned looking behind Optimus and Bulkhead “I agree with Ratchet, is there an Autobot in danger?” Jazz questions his restarlueus crossing

“We did not find an Autobot but we found her…” Prime spoke, lowering his servo for the other to see, Ashley waved nervously “H-hello!” she uttered her eyes darting around the room “A human?” Ratchet questioned his servo reaching for Ashley and picked her up from Prime’s servo “Wow, hold your roll sir!” Ashley spoke pointing to Ratchet and she sat in his servo “Well you're a rude one!” Ratchet said his optics scanning Ashley for wounds if there were any

“What’s the story Prime? bringing a organic to base?” Jazz questioned eyeing Ashley in Ratchet servo “Wait! She must have activated the beacon!” Bumblebee shouted while he stared at Ratchet and Ashley “You’re very loud yellow but you are correct! I did activate the bacon…” Ashley said covering her ears from Bee’s shouting the bots stared at Ashley “But how’d you get one?” Jazz questioned stepping closer to Ashley and Ratchet

Ashley stared at Jazz for a moment before reaching into her pocket and pulling out her phone “They gave it to me!” Ashley said turning her phone to Jazz, the phone was of her and another cybrotroian that was white, light blue, and black “Who is this bot if you don't mind me asking?” Prime questioned looking at the picture alongside Bee and Bulkhead

Ratchet turned Ashley’s arm, which was holding the phone to him so he could see the picture his eyes starred at the picture before he set Ashley in Jazz’s servos and walked over to the computer, and started typing “To answer you're question Prime they’re name is Swiftgear and their the reason I even used the beacon in the first place…” Ashley informed as she rubbed her arms from how cold it was

“Bumblebee…take Ashley above the base for a bit, Jazz I need to talk with you!” Prime instructed walking away from the others, Bee walked up to Jazz opening his servos for Jazz to hand Ashley over, Jazz round his optics before setting Ashley in Bee’s servos after that they both walked away from each other Jazz following Prime and Bee leaving the room. Bulkhead stood still for a moment before he left the room leaving Ratchet the only one left

----

“Optimus? What is the meaning of this?” Jazz questioned his optics looking to the Prime “It’s about Ashley, she knows of us, we'll have to protect her now!” The prime told his restarlueus cross “Wait you're not saying…you are…” Jazz breathes out his servo rubbing his helm “Fine she’ll need our protection!” Jazz stated looking at his servos, the two remained quiet not speaking for a few moments “Jazz?” Prime questioned Jazz letting out a breath “Alright I’ll be her guardian…but only for now!” Jazz stated turning and walking away from Optimus the prime smiled following after him

Ratchet typed away as he tried to find the bot Ashley had shown him but to his avail, nothing came up he let out a sigh before rubbing his optics his processor wondering as he thought of what to do the sound of Jazz's voice snapped him out of his thoughts “Ratchet?” Jazz questioned his voice booming in Ratchet helm “Jazz please you would be quiet!” Ratchet spoke turning to face the red, white, and blue bot “Where’s Prime Jazz?” Ratchet questioned looking around the room for the red and blue bot “He went top side to bring Bumblebee and Ashley!” Jazz spoke crossing his restarlueus as Ratchet sighed “What about Bulkhead?” Ratchet questioned turning his back to Jazz “I commed him a few minutes ago but you know Bulk!” Jazz spoke laughing a little

Ratchet smiled a little but stopped after he sighed looking back at the computer “Ratchet you good?” Jazz questioned, the two stood quiet before Bulkhead's voice sounded “What you need Jazz?” the green bot questioned as he entered the room “Um.. did I come at a bad time?” Bulkhead questions as he stares at Ratchet and Jazz, Ratchet coughed breaking the silence “We should wait for Prime and Bee and…Ashley” Ratchet says turning back to the computer

“Jazz, you think Ratchet’s ok?” Bulkhead questioned as he walked over to Jazz, “I don't know he has been acting differently since Ashley got here!” Jazz said looking at the old medic “Autobots…” The prime’s voice echoed as he stepped into the room, Bee right behind him quieter than ever “I have been informed of the problem Ashely is facing…Ashley?” Optimus explained before directing the attention to Ashley “Um…ok so me and Swiftgear the cybrotroian I showed you on my phone were looking for Energon then a lot of things happened with the cons and now I’m here!” Ashley explained

The bots stood still taking in the information in “So you want us to find Swiftgear?” Ratchet questioned turning to Bee and Ashley “Y-yes I wish for you're help in getting Swiftgear back!” Ashley explained scratching the back of her neck and laughed nervously, “Hmm… still will take while the cons warship is extremely hard to find!” Jazz told his servo touching his helm “Jazz is right but for the time being you will be under the protection of the Autobots!” Prime spoke looking at Ashley

Ashley smiled her fingernails tapping again Bee’s servo “And for the time being Jazz will be your guardian.” Prime spoke looking at Jazz, he sighed and smiled a little “Um I’m sorry to say but I have to get home or I’ll be in trouble!” Ashley spoke looking at the time on her phone “Alright Jazz take Ashley home and watch over her for the time being…” Prime spoke his optics darting between Jazz and Ashley

Jazz scooped Ashley out of Bee’s and walked away, “Where do you live?” Jazz asked as he left the team “I live on River Street on the south side of town!” Ashley informed her hands on Jazz’s digits, he hummed to Ashley not long after the two left base Jazz set Ashley down and transformed into his ult mode “An Acura NSX nice!” Ashley spoke as she stared at Jazz Ult mode “Best I could do!” Jazz replied, opening his driver’s door for Ashley “So when I get you home I won't be going back to base!” Jazz told as he drove away from base, the moon high in the sky

Ashley hummed as she sat in Jazz Ult mode thinking to herself “Ashley you ok?” Jazz asked, his voice coming off as worried “I’m fine just thinking… Jazz, what do you think the cons will do to Swiftgear?” Ashley questioned, she sounded worried. Jazz thought for a second not wanting Ashley to worry “I don't know Ashley but we will save them I promise you that!” Jazz stated Ashley hummed again before looking out the window as Jazz continued to drive her home

----

The sounds of screaming sounded through the warship “Tell me where the Autobot base is!” Metatron yelled his servos forming into a fist, Swiftgear hung limp from the electroshocks “Like I said I got no idea what you're talking about!” Swiftgear spoke quietly, her optics looked up meeting with Megatron's blood-red ones “Soundwave…” Megatron spoke, raising his restarlueus, Soundwave knotted, turning a dial-up “I’ll ask one more time… where is the Autobot base!?” Megatron yelled once again his optics lowered to Swiftgear’s

Swiftgear laughed, “As I said before, I have no idea what you're talking about!” she said lowering her helm and awaited the shock “Soundwave..” Megatron spoke lowering his restarlueus, her screams sounded as part of her armor cracked the one on her face plate where her left optics was cracked more leaving a giant scar reaching down to the bottom of her helm “Master?” Starscream’s voice broke through the screams from Swiftgear

Megatron looked at Starscream “What is it?” Megatron questions, anger seeping from his voice “I see the interrogation isn’t going well..?” Scream said looking at Swiftgear's limp body that hung from her restraints “I would ask if we give Clawhip a try?” Scream questioned his restarlueus folded behind his back Scream’s optics trailing their prisoner's de-shoveled state “How do say Clawhip can do better?” Megatron questions his optics trailing Swiftgear as well

Scream cleared his intake before speaking “Clawhip knows everything about the cybrotroian body she’ll know what to do with our prisoner!” Starscream explained his digits tapping against the other arms, Megatron thought before turning to Soundwave

Soundwave obliged, pressing a button, Swiftgear fell to the floor she laid there unable to move. “You two bring are prisoner to Clawhip, Soundwave return to your post!” Megatron informed walking out of the chamber two clones walked up to Swiftgear picked her up by the restarlueus and dragged her out of the chamber her pedes dragged against the warship floor screeching as the clones dragged her

Swiftgear’s optics looked up, she sighed as the clone reached a door one clone let go of her restarlueu and opened the door “Clawhip..” the clone called a bot larger than the clone stepped out “What?” the bot questioned looking at the clone who called “Our Lord wishes for you to get information on the Autobots from her!” the clone spoke, pointing to Swiftgear, Clawhip hummed “Tell the Lord I give him my thanks, I was getting bored anyways!” Clawhip said walking up to Swiftgear their clawed digits grabbed Swiftgear’s face

Clawhip’s dark red eyes stare into Swiftgear's “Bring her in!” Clawhip spoke walking back into the medbay the light hit her showing off the dark purple of her armor the clone dragged Swiftgear in “Place her on the slab I’ll handle her later“ Clawhip ordered her claws tipping away on the data pad the clones did as Clawhip told placing Swiftgear on the slab and restrained her “Leave I need to work in peace!” Clawhip yelled placing the pad down

The clones lefted, Swiftgear looked around her body felt horrible everything hurt, and the cracks in her armor felt weird she wasn't use to this “You’re a strong one I must say!” Clawhip spoke, her voice echoing through Swiftgear’s audio receptors as she walked up, holding a tray “I’ll give you one chance, where is the Autobot base?!” Clawhip's voice boomed through the med bay “Like I told you're master I got no idea!” Swiftgear shouted, Clawhip stared before setting the tray down

Swiftgear breath hitched, Clawhip smiled “I see~ you know what I’m going to do?” Clawhip questioned, smiling. Her servo reached for the item on the tray “Lost for words I see~!” Clawhip spoke grabbing the item and turned to Swiftgear

The med bay’s doors opened “Clawhip!” Megatron called, stepping to the bot “My Lord!” Clawhip spoke, lowering her head “What is the status of our prisoners?” Megatron asked, his restarlueus crossing “She doesn't know anything but I know the Autobots will come for her!” Clawhip spoke her servos, closing up a wound on Swiftgear “How do you know this?” Megatron asked, watching as Clawhip walked away from him holding Swiftgear’s T-cog “She had a human with her!” Clawhip spoke, placing her T-cog down “What?!” Megatron shouted his optics widened. “The human got away before I could do anything and she must have gotten to the Autobots so they know of Swiftgear!” Clawhip spoke turning to Megatron

Megatron smiled “You did good clawhip!” he spoke, turned, and walked away “Leave Swiftgear here..” Megatron said and left the med bay Clawhip hummed before walking up to Swiftgear and picked up the tray “Guess seeing will be harder now!” Clawhip giggles as she walked away before setting the tray down and departing, Swiftgear laid motionless, her cooling fans working overtime “S-scrap…” Swiftgear whispered to herself, her digits tapped against the slab trying to distract her from the pain

She took in a breath before putting herself into stasis lock

The street light dimly lit the street as Jazz drove down the street “Up ahead on the left!” Ashley said pointing to her house it was average looking like every other house on the block but older, covered in moss and it had an uncut front lawn. “This the place?” Jazz questioned hitting his brakes, Ashley hummed in response stepping out and closing the door

“Hey Ash!” Jazz called, Ashley turned as Jazz rolled his window down “What time will you be up?” Jazz asked turning off his engine so no one could hear “I’m up by 5:30 but I won’t be out till 6:50…” Ashley told pressing her arm against Jazz's door he hummed “Alright have a nice night!” Jazz said rolling his window up, Ashley stepped back looking to the house she sighed before walk through the tall grass

Jazz watched Ashley step up to a large oak tree, his optics widened as he watched her climb the tree to the second floor she opened the window before looking back at him smiling and waved to him

Ashley stepped into her room from the window, her room was barely lit from her LEDs. Rubbing her eyes she pulled her shoe off before throwing them to the end of her bed, pulling her phone out and opening it to pictures she scrolled through the photos before land on a picture of her and Swiftgear “Damn-it” she cursed tears beginning to fall from her eyes, turning the phone off and placing it on the charger

Ashley fell to her bed crying into her pillow she whispered to herself as she cried wishing for her bestfriend back as time passed exhaustion got the best of Ashley and she fell asleep tear staining her eyes.

“Jazz, how are things over there?” Bee asked through the com’s, Jazz sighed before answering “Honestly I think there's more going on with Ashley then I thought” Jazz answered his mirrors looking at Ashley’s window “What you mean bro?” Bee asked again through the coms “I’ll tell you tomorrow have a nice night Bee…” Jazz said turning his coms off
